After many years, I got a copy of chess tournament crosstables volume 1, by Gaige. I was glancing at the "crosstables wanted" list, and realized that I have a full crosstable of at least one of these events; NY 1895, won by Baird (all results are given in the Brooklyn Eagle). I know that other crosstable books have come out since Gaige. Does anyone know which events from Gaige (or other...

I believe that the word "Trollgar" was originally invented by Neal Brennen, who has recently returned to posting here as "The Historian". The first use I can find of the word "Trollgar" comes in the thread entitled "Legal Threats from Polgar and Truong", posted on January 1, 2004. The term "Trollgar" has become widely accepted. For example, Jennifer Shahade uses it in her acclaimed book "Chess...

How can a chess journalist writer find games about a player to write a book on a certain player?

The Great Issue of the Day which is currently being debated by the USCF Executive Board is whether there should be "enforcement" of the guidelines for allowing postings to the moderated USCF Issues Forum, or whether that is insufficient and there should rather be "strict enforcement". Bill Goichberg feels that "enforcement" should be sufficient, but Channing, Truong and Polgar insist that rather...

The results of the 2007 World Chess Championship according to my guess. 1. Anand (everyone expects him to win; I think he expects it himself too, and knows this is his tournament. He killed Topalov recently and has been playing his very best chess lately) 2. Aronian (he has been playing very strongly lately; he rates to end here. His only problem is the opening repertoire. If there would be...

Now I am reading about the 2007 Mtel Masters event, game annotations by GM Ian Rogers. There were special rules for this event which prevented players from taking lazy draws, as grandmasters so often do, and it seems to have worked; plenty of games were fought out, not just given up for dead after a random home-cookin' move failed to net a huge advantage. In fact, the article gives several...

http://susanpolgar.blogspot.com/2007/08/accoona-files-for-805-million-ipo.html I am wondering what this is all about. This company, touted on Susan's website only a few days ago, is now in trouble with the SEC and the public offering has been withdrawn. I am wondering if Susan is involved in some way with these people. Sam Sloan
